by on in Craft Fun

Who says knitting is just for winter? At Wrapped In Fibre, we believe yarn is a year-round passion! As we dive into the sunny vibes of Summer 2025, it’s time to swap chunky sweaters for breezy, lightweight projects perfect for warm Aussie days. Let’s explore fun, summer-friendly knitting and crafting ideas using our premium yarns like Malabrigo Rios, Malabrigo Sock, Rowan Felted Tweed, and Marie Wallin British Breeds.

1. Lightweight Summer Tops with Malabrigo Rios
Malabrigo Rios isn’t just for cozy winter wear. Its 100% superwash merino wool is surprisingly breathable, making it perfect for summer tops and tank knits. Opt for loose, flowy patterns with open stitches to let the air circulate. Think vibrant colors like “Teal Feather” or “Sunset” to match summer’s bold palette.

2. Breezy Shawls & Wraps with Malabrigo Sock
Malabrigo Sock isn’t just for socks! Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for delicate shawls and wraps. Picture an airy lace shawl, perfect for tossing over your shoulders during a beachside evening stroll. Plus, the hand-dyed colorways add that extra touch of uniqueness to every piece.

3. Chic Summer Hats with Rowan Felted Tweed
Rowan Felted Tweed is light, tweedy, and fabulous for creating stylish summer bucket hats or lightweight berets. The wool-alpaca-viscose blend offers texture without bulk, perfect for shielding your face from the Aussie sun while looking effortlessly cool.

4. Timeless Accessories with Marie Wallin British Breeds
Marie Wallin’s British Breeds yarn is a dream for colorwork, even in summer. Try your hand at crafting lightweight, colorful wrist warmers (for those overly air-conditioned cafes) or slim belts to cinch summer dresses. The earthy, natural shades are beautifully in sync with summer landscapes.

5. Craft Beyond Knitting: Yarn Wall Hangings
Not in the mood to wear wool in summer? No worries! Use leftover yarn to create stunning macrame-inspired wall hangings. Blend textures from different yarn types to add dimension, making unique home decor that screams boho summer vibes.

Tips for Summer Knitting:

  • Stay Cool: Knit in the early mornings or evenings when it’s cooler.
  • Go Lightweight: Choose breathable yarns and open stitch patterns.
  • Think Bright: Embrace bold, summery colors for that seasonal pop.
